Description

Dual-energy subtraction quick implementation method and system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of X-ray, in particular to a method and a system for quickly realizing dual-energy subtraction.
Background
The digital image is essentially a digital array of combinations that can be used to perform algorithmic operations on different digital arrays. The current digital subtraction technology has two types, one is time subtraction, and the other is energy subtraction. The dual-energy subtraction double energy reconstruction (DES) is a method in which X-rays with certain energy are projected to different tissues of a human body and reflected to a receiving system (tissue structure imaging), and the definition of images is different. At present, there are two kinds of DES methods commonly used, one is a fast high-low energy double exposure represented by GE corporation in usa, and the other is a single exposure performed by fuji corporation in japan with a filter plate interposed between two receivers. The existing DES technology is applied to X-ray generators, bulbs and flat panel detectors of two exposures in a DR (digital radiography) system, so that the requirements of the X-ray generators, the bulbs and the flat panel detectors are high, namely 3 images, namely a high kv, a low kv and a reference image, need to be generated in a short time, and then image subtraction operation is carried out to obtain energy values (the high kv is subtracted from the reference image, and the low kv is subtracted from the reference image) of the two images after comparison and subtraction, so that corresponding problems of different tissue structures are positioned or judged. Kv herein denotes the unit of the amount of X-ray energy;
in the traditional DES method, two high voltage generators are directly connected to a flat panel detector, as shown in fig. 1, the frame frequency of exposure mapping completely depends on the single exposure time of the two high voltage generators and the integration time of the flat panel detector (the integration time refers to the time for opening a gate control signal inside the flat panel, opening a gate control switch and collecting X-rays), for example, the exposure time of the high voltage generator is 16ms, the gate control signal opening time of the flat panel detector is 32us, the whole integration time is 30ms, the time for completing one mapping is 0.75s, the frame frequency of the flat panel detector is relatively fixed, the exposure time of the high voltage generator is limited, and cannot be synchronized with the flat panel detector, the delay time for obtaining two mapping cannot be fixed, resulting in that the whole DES consumes more time, the leakage current phenomenon is obvious (the leakage current phenomenon is due to the fact that in the mapping process, the gate control switch is turned on, so that the photodiode can lose electronic signals at variable time, the scanning time is increased, particularly after a large amount of X-rays are not detected after 10s, the TFT has loss defects when collecting the electronic signals, and finally, the generated image has partial black spots, high noise and poor image effect, and the contrast of the image is not high (the contrast refers to the contrast after subtracting two images acquired by exposure under different kv conditions and a reference image under the same hardware environment).

Detailed Description
The invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in combination with specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can practice the invention with reference to the description, and the scope of the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments.

When the flat panel detector executes the image acquisition operation, due to the limitation of the exposure time of the high voltage generator, the conventional image acquisition method is very difficult to meet the requirement of continuously exposing two images, for example, after the flat panel detector acquires one image time X being 0.75s (the read-write time of one image is 0.75s), and runs the image algorithm twice (namely, subtracting the reference image from the high kv and subtracting the reference image from the low kv), the image algorithm is uploaded and stored to the corresponding ram address, at least, Y being 5 being 0.75s and 5 being 3.75s are required, the three-image script command operation time Z being 0.6s, and the total image acquisition time Q being Y + Z being 4.35 s. The high voltage generator needs to continuously execute two exposure operations, the X-ray throwing time is P equal to 16ms, M equal to 1S is also needed the fastest from starting to executing a series of switch operations, the time delay waiting time N equal to 500ms is added between the first exposure command and the second exposure command, the total exposure time S equal to (M + P) × 2+ N equal to (1S +0.016) × 2+ 0.5 equal to 2.532S is added, that is, before the high voltage generator completes the continuous two exposure operations, the flat panel detector must complete the drawing operation of subtraction of two drawings, that is, Q must be less than S, so the traditional drawing method is difficult to satisfy the DES function completed by one high voltage generator.
The invention relates to a fast realization method of dual-energy subtraction shadow, which overcomes the bottleneck of continuous twice light exposure time of a high-voltage generator, solves the problem of synchronization of the high-voltage generator and a flat panel detector, and rapidly finishes the acquisition of two exposure images with very small noise, and comprises the following steps:

s2, the software control module sends a script command to the flat panel detector, the script command comprises an image acquisition command for continuously acquiring three images and a flat panel refreshing command, and meanwhile, the software control module also sends a synchronous signal to the high voltage generator;
s3, after the software control module receives the synchronous signal, the high voltage generator will continuously execute two times of exposure operation, and after the exposure is finished, an exposure finished mark is returned to the software control module;
s4, after receiving the exposure completion mark, the software control module informs the flat panel detector to execute a script command, and the flat panel detector collects and generates three pictures, stores the three pictures in a corresponding ram space and transmits the three pictures to an upper computer for storage and processing;

(5) and after receiving the image, the upper computer performs the operations of dead pixel operation, inspection processing and the like.
The DES rapid implementation method can overcome the bottleneck of exposure time of the high-voltage generator, avoid the leakage current phenomenon, and optimize the image noise problem. Compared with the traditional method for realizing the DES function, the method mainly makes the following improvements:
firstly, the working mode is set into a dual-channel mode, the scanning time of each image is doubled, and the LPF is added to reduce the noise problem caused by rapid image production.
And secondly, the high-voltage generator is reduced to one, and an external synchronizing signal and a software handshake signal are added to enhance the contrast of the image after the subtraction of the two exposures.
And thirdly, a script command file is added, and an image acquisition command and a flat refreshing command are integrated into one script file to reduce the whole drawing time and avoid the leakage current phenomenon.

For example, the total sampling scan time of the present invention is Q ═ Y + Z ═ 0.37 × 4 (two exposures minus fig. 1.48S) + X (see fig. 0.37S) + Z (script run time 0.4S) ═ 1.48+0.37+0.4 ═ 2.25S ═ M + Z ═ 2+ N ═ 2+ 0.016 ═ 2+ 0.5 ═ 2.532S (two exposures plot time). And finally, verifying that the method can be normally realized through multiple image acquisition.
